Many times when I slip into a new pair of shoes I end up with painful blisters on my feet (my mother used to call them shoe bites!) A way to relieve this is by pouring some rubbing alcohol onto a paper towel and applying to the problem areas of your shoes. Slip on a pair of socks and wear around the house while the shoes are still damp. The alcohol will work with the moisture of your feet to speed up the stretching process of the leather. Hopefully you will be able to dance around.
